Ex-Official Accuses Justice Department of Racial Bias in Black Panther Case

In emotional and personal testimony, an ex-Justice official who quit over the handling of a voter intimidation case against the New Black Panther Party accused his former employer of instructing attorneys in the civil rights division to ignore cases that involve black defendants and white victims.

J. Christian Adams, testifying Tuesday before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, said that "over and over and over again," the department showed "hostility" toward those cases. He described the Black Panther case as one example of that -- he defended the legitimacy of the suit and said his "blood boiled" when he heard a Justice official claim the case wasn't solid.

"It is false," Adams said of the claim.

"We abetted wrongdoing and abandoned law-abiding citizens," he later testified.

The department abandoned the New Black Panther case last year. It stemmed from an incident on Election Day in 2008 in Philadelphia, where members of the party were videotaped in front of a polling place, dressed in military-style uniforms and allegedly hurling racial slurs while one brandished a night stick.

Once again, if Yurt and his fellow travelers were as concerned with real actual racism instead of bullshit racism against white people, maybe the republican party would receive more than a laughable percentage of minority voters.

Right, because people with weapons standing outside a polling place keeping people of a different race from voting isn't "real"...

:rolleyes:

If you were actually concerned with racism you would have problems with the dismissal, just as I would if it were the KKK with the batons keeping a different set of voters from the polls.

racists like topspin and nigel don't believe there is "true" or "real" racism unless a white person is guilty of it

that is racist and bigoted, but they are so 'enlightened', they don't see anything beyond their narrow and extremely shallow views
 
Well it looks like some retirees from DOJ are ready to stand with Adams:

...First, here is Asheesh Agarwal. From 2006-2008, Asheesh Agarwal served as a deputy assistant attorney general in the Civil Rights Division. In that position, Agarwal supervised the Division’s Voting Section, which included Adams, and worked directly with Adams on several matters. Agarwal is currently an attorney in private practice.

During his tenure with the Department of Justice’s Voting Section, J. Christian Adams was a model attorney who vigorously enforced federal voting rights laws on behalf of all voters, without respect to race or ideology. Mr. Adams was also one of the most productive and successful voting attorneys in recent memory.

His victories include two cases on behalf of African-American voters under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, two cases on behalf of white voters under Section 2, and six cases on behalf of Hispanic voters under Section 203 of the Voting Rights Act. He also brought and won three cases on behalf of military voters. Having worked closely with Mr. Adams for several years, I can attest to the unsurpassed quality of his character, judgment, and commitment to the cause of civil rights on behalf of all Americans.

– Asheesh Agarwal

UPDATE: Mark Corallo, former Department of Justice director of public affairs, submits a statement to Pajamas Media:

As the Department of Justice director of public affairs under Attorney General John Ashcroft, I witnessed the hostility of the “career” Civil Rights Division attorneys firsthand.

Internal disagreements over policy routinely became matters for the press, via leaks to reporters or leaks to Democrat members of Congress. They had no compunction about breaking the ethical requirement of attorneys to keep those internal deliberations confidential.

I am not surprised that the Department is attacking J. Christian Adams. The Civil Rights Division attorneys have no interest in the rule of law as written and passed by Congress — the New Black Panther case is glaring proof that the Division has an agenda. If Congress was truly interested in oversight, there would be hearings on this case and others.

J. Christian Adams did the honorable thing in resigning and speaking out.

Democrats constantly complained about the lack of oversight when Republicans were the majority party in Congress. Can any reasonable person imagine the Democrats ignoring a case of blatant violations of the Voting Rights Act (captured on video) brought by career Civil Rights Division attorneys being dismissed by a Republican attorney general?

Any veteran of the Justice Department should be outraged.

More are expected in the coming days...

wow....I'd guess you're about 60 years old now, right ?

You couldn't possibly get that stupid in less time no matter how fuckin' hard you worked at it....
 
The problem Nigel is that you consistently excuse such things because it's "not real racism". All racism is equal in intent, if not in application. And it is equally destructive to our national ideals.

See my above post.

Just because whites are the majority, is no reason to ignore racism against them. You want equal treatment, treat all racism equally.

I'm sure you can figure it all out on your own, junior. Or are you a visual learner like Yurt?

The first thing that came up was his wiki page (naturally). It failed to mention what he has to do with voter intimidation of the Black Panthers.

You presume a crime was committed.

I don't.

I have an excellent bullshit detector, and I don't get easily duped by Iraq War Lies, Climate Gate Lies, or Fox News infotaintment articles.


The dude is now a private lawyer blogging for "pajamasmedia". HaHa! That automatically tells me he's an obama hater. And dude, I don't believe 90% of what I see on Fox News. The Justice Dept. dismissised this case as having no merit. The charges remain nothing more than allegations.

The whole "black panthers" angle is hilarious, and is a total red flag. If you want to frighten white people, that whole black panther imagery is a sure fire bet to get some adult depends undergarmetns soiled.

So I have a choice of believing some obama hater who is now blogging on one of the most rightwing extremist blogs out there.

Or I can believe the DOJ.


Like I said, my bullshit meter is excellent. I don't fall for scary and phony stories of scared, downtrodden white people. I didn't fall for the climate gate bullshit. I sat back patiently and waited for it to blow up in the faces of rightwing dupes.

All of which does not discount, nor discuss, that which I have said. If you want people to be treated equal, treat all racism the same.
